My favorite song.

There are a lot of songs of different bands that I really like but I think that my favorite song is Blackbird by Alter Bridge (It was written and composed by Alter Bridge, not a cover of the homologue song by The Beatles, a good song anyway). Alter Bridge is an American band formed in 2004 (they are not well known). The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Myles Kennedy, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips.

The song was realized in the second album of the band named Blackbird too. The song is a metaphor that talks about a blackbird that flies away, escaping of the suffering of his world to find the freedom. It represents the dead of a good friend of the vocalist, Mark Morse, who died as the song was being written. Mark Morse sold vocalist first guitar when he was a kid. The lyrics were written by Myles Kennedy himself.

 It is the band's longest song to date with nearly eight minutes long. The critic says that this song represent the crowing point of the album and band career. The solo of the song that is performed by both Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti, was chosen as the greatest guitar solo of all time by the Guitarist Magazine, defeating great songs as Sweet Child of Mine or November Rain solos by Slash of Guns and Roses and the previous winner of the magazine, the solo of Hotel California by Eagles (A great song too).

I like this song first because Alter Bridge is one of my favorite bands, second because it’s a really good song: it has some amazing vocals by Myles Kennedy, really good bridges and chorus and finally that great solo performed by Myles and Mark (in my opinion not the best of the history but one of the best that I listened). I really loved this song since I hear it like two years ago when I began listening Alter Bridge. It brings me good memories of the past but when I realized of the lyrics I discover that it was a really sad song. Well, whatever, I share it with you. Greetings people.
